history

12-14 century

The place Uttenhausen was first mentioned in 1158. In this document, Emperor Friedrich I confirmed the transfer of ownership of Rappershausen and the town of Uttenhausen, located about one kilometer to the south, to the Bildhausen monastery , which was donated in 1156 by Friedrich's uncle, Count Palatine Hermann von Stahleck . Between 1158 and 1350, most of Uttenhausen must have come into the possession of the Counts of Henneberg , although the exact circumstances can no longer be clarified.

During the division of Henneberg in 1274, the area of ​​Uttenhausen and half of Rappershausen came to the Henneberg-Hartenberg line, which had its headquarters on the Hartenburg in nearby Römhild . Count Berthold XI. von Henneberg-Hartenberg (ruled 1348-1371) had a fortress built around 1350 near Uttenhausen . However, since he got into a dispute with the Würzburg bishop Albrecht, the fortress and probably also the town of Uttenhausen were completely destroyed by him. The residents of Uttenhausen fled to Rappershausen .

Berthold von Henneberg-Hartenberg enfeoffed Wilhelm von Maßbach with Uttenhausen. From this, Count Hermann IV of Henneberg-Aschach (* before 1342; † May 26, 1378) and his brother Berthold bought the place after the death of their cousin Berthold von Henneberg-Hartenberg in 1378. He had his property in 1371 Henneberg-Aschach line sold. The abbot and convent of Bildhausen announced on December 2, 1379 that Count Hermann von Henneberg-Aschach, with the consent of his brother Berthold, Canon of Bamberg, had transferred the village of Uttenhausen to them. Count Hermann von Henneberg-Aschach and his brother Berthold reserved all sovereign rights.

15-18 century

In 1442 Uttenhausen was listed as an existing place in the loan and interest book of the Bildhausen Monastery, which means that the place was still inhabited at that time. On May 3, 1498 Count Otto von Henneberg settled a dispute between his cousin Count Hermann von Henneberg and the abbot of the Bildhausen monastery regarding the taxes that Count Hermann von Henneberg demanded from the residents of Uttenhausen. Through two divisions of the Henneberg-Aschach line in 1468 and 1532, Uttenhausen came to Count Berthold XVI as part of the Römhild office . von Henneberg-Römhild , who sold his property to the Counts of Mansfeld in 1548 . They sold the office of Römhild with Uttenhausen in 1555 to the Ernestine Wettins .

In the notice drawn up in 1555 about the rule Römhild u. a. the delivery of 16 malter oats (autumn fodder) from the Uttenhausen desert (Autenhausen) is listed. According to this, Uttenhausen had become desolate between 1498 and 1555. Because distribution of an estate owned the deserted Uttenhausen as part of the Office Römhild from 1572 to Saxe-Coburg-Eisenach , from 1596 to Saxe-Coburg , from 1533 back to Saxe-Coburg-Eisenach, from 1640 to Sachsen-Altenburg , from 1672 to Saxony Gotha -Altenburg and from 1680 to Sachsen-Römhild . After the death of the Duke of Sachsen-Römhild, the office of Römhild was divided between Sachsen-Coburg-Saalfeld (1/3) and Sachsen-Meiningen (2/3) in 1710 .

19th century to the present

The "cleaning contract" between the Grand Duchy of Würzburg and Saxony-Meiningen, which was signed on June 20, 1808, regulated the border between the Grand Duchy of Würzburg and the ducal Saxon-Meiningian and Saxon-Romanhildic area anew, whereby the place Rappershausen and the desert Uttenhausen were assigned to Würzburg. It was expressly pointed out that Würzburg's right of inheritance, which was agreed in the Schleusingen Treaty of July 19, 1586, continues to exist. After Napoleon's defeat in the Battle of Leipzig , Ferdinand of Tuscany broke ties with France on October 26, 1813 and joined the allied coalition against Napoleon. In the final act of the Congress of Vienna on June 9, 1815, it was determined that the Grand Duchy of Würzburg largely fell back to Bavaria , while Ferdinand III. regained its hereditary state, the Grand Duchy of Tuscany. In the course of the administrative reforms in Bavaria, today's community of Rappershausen was created with the community edict of 1818 , to which the Uttenhausen desert has belonged since then.

On May 1, 1978, Rappershausen and Uttenhausen were incorporated into the community of Hendungen.
